Streamlining the data management process via IIoT: The dynamic synchronisation of efforts and technology.
Industry 4.0 or Manufacturing 4.0 is the intersection of manufacturing processes and software technologies. It creates a technology ecosystem that helps to improve productivity and efficiency. Industrial Internet-of-Things (IIoT) is transforming the way organizations collect and process data.
Software engineers at Renault Nissan Tech manage the data flow for Nissan manufacturing plants in Japan and Thailand. Raw data from processes at the plant are collected and transmitted from edge devices (machines, sensors, RFID reader, camera, etc.) to the central data hub via edge servers. Apart from providing a real-time view of plant operations for plant personnel on interactive dashboards, these data enable predictive and preventive maintenance with the help of machine learning algorithms.
A team of IIoT engineers at Information Systems & Information Technology (ISIT) of Renault Nissan Tech support ten plants across Japan, Thailand, and India. So, what are the benefits of using this IIoT to manage the dataflow??
●??????Increased awareness:
It provides real-time/instant information about the critical conditions, environment and the activity progress in the plant.
●??????Connectivity:
All the equipment and devices are inter-connected, allowing easy communication and data flow throughout the plant.
●??????Intelligence:

It paves the way for automatic decision-making based on the pre-set guidelines.
●??????Responsiveness:
Quick decisions and immediate action plans can be implemented to achieve optimum results.
These projects have helped to achieve significant milestones. The adoption of IIoT for data flow management has helped to cut down costs, process about 20GB of data from various devices securely on a daily basis and reduce the reaction time on machine faults from 8 hours to a few minutes. Other noteworthy achievements include the zero downtime for data at the Nissan Tochigi plant and 5 kaizens (improvement processes) were delivered in six months over and above these projects.
Through Industrial IoT and other technologies, Information System & Information Technology aids in Alliance operations across the globe.
